Team Communication

Our team finished this massive "Gannt" Chart back in January. It has a calnder of important dats at the top and weekly tasks and goals for the team along the bottom. The tasks and goals are split into hardware, software, and communication/finance. We use sticky notes to post the current week's goals then, once the week is passed, we write what was accomplished that week in the slot. Since our team is rarely all in the same place at the same time this has been a huge help with communication amongst the team!

Napkin Drawings

I recently saw Justin's post on Google+ about napkin sketches and I figured I would share the napkin drawings I got from a little over a week ago. I sat down with Dr. Murray, my calculus professor from the concurrent classes I am taking at a local community college, and discussed various mirror design options. Here are a few of the sketches he provided us with on the back of a napkin and a lunch receipt.
